Cheers, I did have some thoughts down that route, but didn't know whether
you could give it a "bad" address in terms of the scope or not. Shows you
how long it is since I set up any DHCP stuff. Let's wait for the support
call from the idiot telling me he can't access the internet from work with
his (or her) IPhone any more...

Agreed just grab the Mac address and give it the address 127.0.0.1 as a
reservation with the same address as the gateway.  Lots of fun.

Sure. can you get the MAC address of that device? If so, just give it a
static assignment that is "bad" and you're all set. J Not quite what you had
in mind, but it works quite well. J

Anyway I can block a device from obtaining an IP address from our DHCP
scope? I have a rogue IPhone that appears intermittently on my DHCP range. I
haven't managed to find out who it is yet but if I do I will be sure to
address it via HR....turning off the wireless unfortunately is not an
option. I know the user could probably bang in some static settings to get
around the block, but seeing as though our users can't save things in the
right folders, I'm relying on them not being savvy enough to enter some
network settings themselves.

Thanks for all ideas...
